Symposium on Rethinking Technology


Do notions like values, virtue and wisdom have any place in an information based society? Have we become the tools of our tools and it is time to "Rethink Technology ... as if People Matter"? Do you ever feel as if our tools have become our masters, and we must adapt to them now? If we are indeed becoming the tools of our tools, perhaps fault -- and the solution -- lies not in our tools, but in ourselves. Maybe it's time to rethink technology ... as if people matter.

Join a distinguished panel of technologists, writers, and Silicon Valley insiders who will consider these issues and offer insights on ways to manage both the opportunities and threats presented by the Digital Revolution.

Tom Fermski, Editor, Silicon Valley Watcher
Nina Horne, Publicy Policy, City of Oakland
Tapan Parikh, UC-Berkeley School of Information
Richard Whittaker, Editor, Conversations.org
Tom Mahon, Author and Forty-Year Silicon Valley Veteran

This event is sponsored by AHIMSA and will be held at the Interfaith Center at the Presidio -- on April 26th from 1:30PM to 4PM.
